Nature of Operations [Text Block]	'
	Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business
	Bluerock Residential Growth REIT, Inc., or the Company, was incorporated as a Maryland corporation on July 25, 2008. The Company’s objective is to maximize long-term stockholder value by acquiring well-located institutional-quality apartment properties in demographically attractive growth markets across the United States. The Company seeks to maximize returns through investments where it believes it can drive substantial growth in its funds from operations and net asset value through one or more of its Core-Plus, Value-Add, Opportunistic and Invest-to-Own investment strategies.
	The Company conducts its operations through Bluerock Residential Holdings, L.P., its operating partnership, or Operating Partnership, of which the Company has a 90.13% ownership interest and is the sole general partner. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The use of the words "we", "us" or "our" refers to Bluerock Residential Growth REIT, Inc. and the Operating Partnership, except where the context requires otherwise. Bluerock Real Estate L.L.C., or Bluerock, is our sponsor.
	The Company raised capital in a continuous registered offering, carried out in a manner consistent with offerings of non-listed REITs, from its inception until September 9, 2013, when it terminated the continuous registered offering in connection with the Company’s Board of Directors’, or Board’s, consideration of strategic alternatives to maximize value to its stockholders. Through September 9, 2013, the Company had raised an aggregate of $22.6 million in gross proceeds through its continuous registered offering, including its distribution reinvestment plan.
	The Company subsequently determined to register shares of newly authorized Class A common stock to be offered in a firmly underwritten public offering, or the IPO, by filing a registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-192610) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on November 27, 2013. On March 28, 2014, the SEC declared the registration statement effective and we announced the pricing of the IPO of 3,448,276 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $14.50 per share for total gross proceeds of $50.0 million. The net proceeds of the IPO, which closed on April 2, 2014, were approximately $44.4 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering costs.
	In connection with the IPO, shares of our Class A common stock were listed on the NYSE MKT for trading under the symbol “BRG.” Pursuant to the second articles of amendment and restatement to our charter filed on March 26, 2014, or Second Charter Amendment, each share of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to the listing, including shares sold in our continuous registered offering, was changed into one-third of a share of each of Class B-1 common stock, Class B-2 common stock and Class B-3 common stock. Following the filing of the Second Charter Amendment, we effected a 2.264881-to-1 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of Class B-1 common stock, Class B-2 common stock and Class B-3 common stock, and on March 31, 2014, we effected an additional 1.0045878-to-1 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of Class B-1 common stock, Class B-2 common stock and Class B-3 common stock.
	As of March 31, 2014, we were externally managed by Bluerock Multifamily Advisor, LLC, an affiliate of Bluerock, or our Former Advisor, pursuant to an advisory agreement, or the Advisory Agreement. In connection with the completion of the IPO, we engaged BRG Manager, LLC, also an affiliate of Bluerock, or the Manager, to provide external management services to us under a new management agreement, or the Management Agreement, and terminated the Advisory Agreement with the Former Advisor.
	Substantially concurrently with the completion of the IPO, the Company completed a series of related contribution transactions pursuant to which it acquired indirect equity interests in four apartment properties, and a 100% fee simple interest in a fifth apartment property for an aggregate asset value of $152.3 million (inclusive of The Villas at Oak Crest property, which is accounted for under the equity method and the Springhouse at Newport News property, in which we already owned an interest and which has been reported as consolidated for the periods presented). Since the completion of the IPO, the Company purchased an additional property for $58.6 million and made an aggregate commitment of $10.2 million, $8.5 million of which has been funded as of October 27, 2014, in preferred equity investments in two development projects with a total of 636 units. The total projected development cost for the two development projects, including land acquisition, is approximately $118.6 million.
	The Company registered additional shares of its Class A common stock to be offered in a firmly underwritten public offering, or the Follow-On Offering, by filing a registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-198770) with the SEC on September 16, 2014. On October 2, 2014, the SEC declared the registration statement effective and we announced the pricing of the Follow-On Offering at a public offering price of $11.90 per share. We closed the Follow-On Offering of 3,035,444 shares of Class A common stock, inclusive of shares sold pursuant to the full exercise of the overallotment option by the underwriters, on October 8, 2014. Net proceeds of the Follow-On Offering were approximately $33.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering costs.
	As of September 30, 2014, the Company's portfolio consisted of interests in twelve properties (ten operating properties and two development properties), all but four acquired through joint ventures. The Company’s ten operating properties are comprised of an aggregate of 3,223 units. As of September 30, 2014, these properties, exclusive of our development properties, were approximately 96% occupied.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
	The Company operates as an umbrella partnership REIT in which our subsidiary and Operating Partnership, Bluerock Residential Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, or its wholly owned subsidiaries, owns substantially all of the property interests acquired on its behalf.
	Because the Company is the sole general partner of its Operating Partnership and has unilateral control over its management and major operating decisions, the accounts of our Operating Partnership are consolidated in its consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.  The Company will consider future majority owned and controlled joint ventures for consolidation in accordance with the provisions of Topic 810, “Consolidation” of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).
	Certain amounts in prior year presentations have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.  Amounts associated with the Company's Enders Place at Baldwin Park property, which was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2013 in the consolidated balance sheet for that period, have been reclassified to continuing operations, as the Company no longer has the intent to sell the property. As a result of the sale of The Reserve at Creekside Village, a 192-unit garden-style apartment community located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, or the Creekside property, on March 28, 2014, amounts associated with the Creekside property in the statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 have been reclassified to discontinued operations. See Note 3, “Real Estate Assets Held for Sale, Discontinued Operations and Sale of Joint Venture Equity Interests” for further explanation.
	Interim Financial Information
	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting, and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-1 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, the financial statements for interim reporting do not include all of the information and notes or disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of the operating results for a full year.
	The balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  For further information refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.
	Readers should be aware that the financial position and operations of the Company have changed significantly at and as of September 30, 2014 from the prior comparable dates and periods due to the Company’s completion of the IPO on April 2, 2014, the associated contribution transactions and subsequent acquisitions.
	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since it filed its audited consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  At the property level, these estimates include such items as purchase price allocations of real estate acquisitions, impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, and allowance for doubtful accounts.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	New Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance when it becomes effective on January 1, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We have not yet selected a transition method and are evaluating the impact that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (“ASU No. 2014-08”). ASU No. 2014-08 limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when any of the following occurs: a) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale; b) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale; and c) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of other than by sale. ASU No. 2014-08 also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2014-08 for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2014. As a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2014-08, results of operations for properties that are classified as held for sale in the ordinary course of business on or subsequent to January 1, 2014 would generally be included in continuing operations on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, to the extent such disposals did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation. Additionally, any gain or loss on sale of real estate that do not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation would be presented, on the consolidated statements of operations, in continuing operations. ASU No. 2014-08 did not have an impact on the presentation of the Company’s financial statements upon adoption. Early adoption is not permitted for assets that have previously been reported as held for sale in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, application of this new guidance was not permitted for the Company’s Creekside property, which was reported as held for sale in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013 and in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended March 31, 2014.

	Real Estate Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
	Prior to the Company’s early adoption of ASU No. 2014-08, as of January 1, 2014, the Company had reported its Creekside property as held for sale in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013 and in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended March 31, 2014. On March 28, 2014, the special purpose entity in which the Company held a 24.706% indirect equity interest sold the Creekside property, as discussed below. As early adoption was not permitted for assets that have previously been reported as held for sale in the consolidated financial statements and the property has been sold, the remaining assets and liabilities were classified as discontinued operations as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014. On August 28, 2014, the Company’s Investment Committee approved the plan to sell the North Park Towers property and the Company classified amounts related to the property as held for sale. Amounts associated with the Enders Place at Baldwin Park property, which was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2013 in the consolidated balance sheet for that period, have been reclassified to continuing operations, as the Company no longer has current plans to sell the property.
	The real estate assets and liabilities of the North Park Towers property are presented as held for sale in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014. The real estate assets and liabilities of the Creekside property are presented as discontinued operations as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
	Property Classified as Discontinued Operations
	The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Creekside property classified as discontinued operations at September 30, 2014, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

After deduction for payment of the existing mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Creekside property in the approximate amount of $13.5 million and payment of closing costs and fees, excluding disposition fees of approximately $69,946 deferred by the Former Advisor, the sale of the Creekside property generated net proceeds to the Company of approximately $1.2 million based on its proportionate ownership interest.

	Acquisition of Interest in Lansbrook Village
	On May 23, 2014, Fund II, sold a 32.67% limited liability company interest in BR Lansbrook JV Member, LLC, or BR Lansbrook JV Member, to BRG Lansbrook, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of our Operating Partnership, for a purchase price of approximately $5.4 million in cash, and Fund III, sold a 52.67% limited liability company interest in BR Lansbrook JV Member to BRG Lansbrook, LLC, for a purchase price of approximately $8.8 million in cash. BR Lansbrook JV Member is the owner and holder of a 90% limited liability company interest in BR Carroll Lansbrook JV, LLC, which, as of September 30, 2014, owned 579 condominium units being operated as an apartment community within a 774-unit condominium property known as Lansbrook Village located in Palm Harbor, Florida, or the Lansbrook property. As further consideration for the Lansbrook acquisition, the Company was required to provide certain standard scope non-recourse carveout guarantees (and related hazardous materials indemnity agreements) related to approximately $42.0 million of indebtedness encumbering the Lansbrook property through a joinder to the loan agreement. The purchase price paid for the acquired interest was based on the amounts capitalized by Fund II and Fund III in the Lansbrook property plus an 8% annualized return for the period they held their respective interests in BR Lansbrook JV Member. The approximate dollar value attributed to Mr. Kamfar, as a result of his indirect ownership of Bluerock, was $183,689. Both Fund II and Fund III will continue to each own a 7.33% and 7.33%, respectively, limited liability interest in BR Lansbrook JV Member.
	Acquisition of Additional Interest in Enders Property
	As of June 30, 2014, through a joint venture, we held a 48.4% indirect equity interest in the Enders property.
	On September 10, 2014, through the Enders property joint venture, the Company acquired an additional 41.1% indirect interest in the Enders property in exchange for approximately $4.4 million in cash and approximately $8.0 million in additional financing proceeds, such that the Company currently holds an indirect 89.5% interest therein.
	Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
	The identifiable assets and liabilities associated with the acquisitions of the following properties: North Park Towers, Village Green of Ann Arbor, Grove at Waterford and Lansbrook Village, are based upon management's best available information at the time of the preparation of the financial statements. However, the business acquisition accounting for these properties is not complete and accordingly, such estimates of the value of acquired assets and liabilities are provisional until the valuation is finalized. Therefore, the provisional measurements of fair value reflected are subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practical, but no later than one year from the acquisition dates.
	The above acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations. The purchase prices were allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The preliminary measurements of fair value reflected below are subject to change. The Company expects to finalize the valuations and complete the purchase price allocations within one year from the dates of acquisition.
	The following table summarizes the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The amounts listed below reflect provisional amounts that will be updated as information becomes available.

	Acquisition of Interest in Villas at Oak Crest
	On April 2, 2014, the Company, through BRG Oak Crest, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, acquired all of Fund II’s right, title and interest in and to a 93.432% limited liability company interest, or the Oak Crest Interest, in BR Oak Crest Villas, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is the owner and holder of a 71.9% limited liability company interest in Oak Crest Villas JV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is the owner and holder of 100% of the limited liability company interests in Villas Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is the fee simple owner of a 209-unit multifamily property located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, or the Oak Crest Property. The acquisition of the Oak Crest Interest was made pursuant to a contribution agreement, or the Oak Crest Contribution Agreement. The Oak Crest Interest is a preferred equity investment that earns a preferred return of 15%.
	As consideration for the Oak Crest Interest, the Company issued 200,143 unregistered shares of its Class A common stock, with an approximate value of $2.9 million, to Fund II, or the Oak Crest Consideration. The Oak Crest Consideration was subject to certain prorations and adjustments typical in a real estate transaction and was based on the value of the indirect equity interest of Fund II in the Oak Crest Property, which indirect equity valuation was based on an independent third party appraisal of the Oak Crest Property.
	In conjunction with the consummation of the Oak Crest Contribution Agreement and the purchase and sale of the Oak Crest Interest, Fund II Manager received a disposition fee of approximately $200,000 under the management agreement for Fund II, which disposition fee was paid in the form of 15,474 unregistered shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, which shares of Class A common stock would otherwise have been issued to Fund II. Additionally, the Former Advisor received an acquisition fee of approximately $300,000 under the Advisory Agreement, which acquisition fee was paid in the form of 19,343 LTIP Units. The Advisory Agreement was terminated in connection with the completion of the IPO.
	Investment in Alexan CityCentre Property
	On July 1, 2014, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Operating Partnership, we made a convertible preferred equity investment in a multi-tiered joint venture along with Bluerock Growth Fund, LLC, or BGF, Fund II and Fund III (collectively , the “BRG Co-Investors”), which are affiliates of our Manager, and an affiliate of Trammell Crow Residential, or TCR, to develop a 340-unit class A, apartment community located in Houston, Texas, to be known as Alexan CityCentre.
	For development of the Alexan CityCentre property and funding of any required reserves, the Company has made a capital commitment of $6,564,557, to acquire 100% of the preferred membership interests in BR T&C BLVD Member, LLC, or the BR Alexan Member, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company’s Operating Partnership, BRG T&C BLVD Houston, LLC, or BRG Alexan. The BRG Co-Investors’ budgeted development-related capital commitments are as follows: BGF, $6.500 million; Fund II, $6.274 million; and Fund III, $4.360 million, to acquire 37.93%, 36.62% and 25.45% of the common membership interests in the BR Alexan Member, respectively.
	Under the operating agreement for BR Alexan Member, our preferred membership interest earns and shall be paid on a current basis a preferred return at the annual rate of 15.0% times the outstanding amount of our capital contributions made pursuant to our capital commitment. As of September 30, 2014 (i) we have funded $4,883,049 of our capital commitment leaving $1,681,508 remaining to be funded and (ii) the BRG Co-Investors have funded $15,140,005. BR Alexan Member may call for capital contributions in accordance with the requirements of the development budget for the Alexan CityCentre property and we are obligated to fund our share of them (limited by the amount of our capital commitment) within ten (10) days of our receipt of written notice of any such capital call, or the preferred return on our outstanding capital contributions shall be reduced to 7.0% annually.
	BR Alexan Member is required to redeem our preferred membership interests on the earlier of the date which is six (6) months following the maturity of the construction loan (including any extensions thereof but excluding refinancing), or any acceleration of the construction loan. On the redemption date, BR Alexan Member is required to pay us an amount equal to our outstanding net capital contributions to BR Alexan Member plus any accrued but unpaid preferred return. If BR Alexan Member does not redeem our preferred membership interest in full on the required redemption date, then any of our net capital contributions remaining outstanding shall accrue a preferred return at the rate of 20.0% per annum.
We have the right, in our sole discretion, to convert our preferred membership interest in BR Alexan Member into a common membership interest for a period of six months from and after the date upon which 70% of the units in the Alexan CityCentre property have been leased, or the Alexan Conversion Trigger Date. Assuming that we and the BRG Co-Investors have made all of our budgeted development-related capital contributions as required, and all accrued preferred returns have been paid to us, upon conversion we will receive a common membership interest of 18.5% of the aggregate common membership interest in BR Alexan Member, or the Alexan Expected Interest, and the membership percentages of the BRG Co-Investors shall be adjusted accordingly. If the facts as of the Alexan Conversion Trigger Date are substantially different from the capital investment assumptions resulting in our receipt of the Alexan Expected Interest, then we and the BRG Co-Investors are required to confer and determine in good faith a new common membership interest percentage relative to our conversion.
Prior to the exercise of the conversion right, BGF, Fund II and Fund III shall be the managers of BR Alexan Member, and shall have the power and authority to govern the business of BR Alexan Member, subject to the approval of certain “major decisions” by members holding a majority of the membership interests and subject to the further requirement that our economic interests and other rights in and to the Alexan CityCentre property may not be diluted or altered without our prior written consent.
Investment in UCF Orlando Property
On July 29, 2014, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Operating Partnership, we made a convertible preferred equity investment in a multi-tiered joint venture along with Fund I, an affiliate of our Manager, and CDP UCFP Developer, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company and non-affiliated entity, to develop a 296-unit class A apartment community located in Orlando, Florida, located in close proximity to the University of Central Florida and Central Florida Research Park, and will be a featured component of a master-planned, Publix-anchored retail development known as Town Park, or the UCF Orlando property.
For development of the UCF Orlando property and funding of any required reserves, the Company has made a capital commitment of $3,629,345 to acquire 100% of the preferred membership interests in BR Orlando UCFP, LLC, or BR Orlando JV Member, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Operating Partnership, BRG UCFP Investor, LLC.
Under the operating agreement for BR Orlando JV Member, our preferred membership interest earns and shall be paid on a current basis a preferred return at the annual rate of 15.0% on the outstanding amount of our capital contributions made pursuant to our capital commitment. To date we have fully funded our $3,629,345 capital commitment and Fund I has funded $4,885,290.
We are not required to make any additional capital contributions beyond our capital commitment. However, if BR Orlando JV Member makes an additional capital call and Fund I does not fully fund it, then we may elect to fund such shortfall as an additional capital contribution, in which case those contributions will accrue a preferred return at the annual rate of 20.0% on the outstanding amount of such capital contributions.
BR Orlando JV Member is required to redeem our preferred membership interests on the earlier of the date which is six (6) months following the maturity of the construction loan (including any extensions thereof but excluding refinancing), or any acceleration of the construction loan. On the redemption date, BR Orlando JV Member is required to pay us an amount equal to our outstanding net capital contributions to BR Orlando JV Member plus any accrued but unpaid preferred return. If BR Orlando JV Member does not redeem our preferred membership interest in full on the required redemption date, then any of our net capital contributions remaining outstanding shall accrue a preferred return at the rate of 20.0% per annum.
We have the right, in our sole discretion, to convert our preferred membership interest in BR Orlando JV Member into a common membership interest for a period of six (6) months from and after the date upon which 70% of the units in the UCF Orlando property have been leased, or the Orlando Conversion Trigger Date. Assuming that we and Fund I have made all capital contributions as required, and all accrued preferred returns have been paid to us, upon conversion we will receive a common membership interest of 31% of the aggregate common membership interest in BR Orlando JV Member, or the Orlando Expected Interest, and the membership percentage of Fund I shall be adjusted accordingly. If the facts as of the Orlando Conversion Trigger Date are substantially different from the capital investment assumptions resulting in our receipt of the Orlando Expected Interest, then we and Fund I are required to confer and determine in good faith a new common membership interest percentage relative to our conversion.
Prior to the exercise of the conversion right, Fund I shall be the manager of BR Orlando JV Member, and shall have the power and authority to govern the business of BR Orlando JV Member, subject to the approval of certain “major decisions” by members holding a majority of the membership interests and subject to the further requirement that our economic interests and other rights in and to the UCF Orlando property may not be diluted or altered without our prior written consent.

	In connection with the Company’s acquisition of an interest in the Villas at Oak Crest, the Company assumed a receivable of $302,763 from Fund II related to accrued interest on Fund II’s investment in the Villas at Oak Crest prior to the contribution of their interest to the Company. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has a payable to Fund II for this amount.
	As of March 31, 2014, we were externally managed by our Former Advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. In connection with the completion of the IPO, we terminated our Advisory Agreement with our Former Advisor, and we entered into a new management agreement, or Management Agreement, with BRG Manager, LLC, an affiliate of Bluerock, or the Manager, on April 2, 2014. The terms and conditions of the Management Agreement, which became effective as of April 2, 2014, and the Advisory Agreement, which was effective for the reported periods prior to April 2, 2014, are described below.
	Management Agreement
	The Management Agreement requires the Manager to manage the Company’s business affairs in conformity with the investment guidelines and other policies that are approved and monitored by the Company’s board of directors, or the Board. The Manager’s role as manager is under the supervision and direction of the Board. Specifically, the Manager is responsible for (1) the selection, purchase and sale of the Company’s portfolio investments, (2) the Company’s financing activities, and (3) providing the Company with advisory services.
	Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the Manager provides the Company with a management team, including a chief executive officer, president, chief accounting officer and chief operating officer, along with appropriate support personnel, to provide the management services to be provided by the Manager to the Company. None of the officers or employees of the Manager are dedicated exclusively to the Company.
	We pay the Manager a base management fee in an amount equal to the sum of: (A) 0.25% of the Company’s stockholders’ existing and contributed equity prior to the IPO and in connection with our contribution transactions, per annum, calculated quarterly based on the Company’s stockholders’ existing and contributed equity for the most recently completed calendar quarter and payable in quarterly installments in arrears in cash, and (B) 1.5% of the equity per annum of the Company’s stockholders who purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, calculated quarterly based on their equity for the most recently completed calendar quarter and payable in quarterly installments in arrears. The base management fee is payable independent of the performance of the Company’s investments. The base management fee expense for the Manager was $213,180 and $431,145 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
	The Company also pays the Manager an incentive fee with respect to each calendar quarter in arrears. The incentive fee will be an amount, not less than zero, equal to the difference between (1) the product of (x) 20% and (y) the difference between (i) the Company’s adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, for the previous 12-month period, and (ii) the product of (A) the weighted average of the issue price of equity securities issued in the IPO and in future offerings and transactions, multiplied by the weighted average number of all shares of the Company’s Class A common stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis (including any restricted stock units, any restricted shares of Class A common stock, LTIP Units, and other shares of common stock underlying awards granted under the Incentive Plans and OP Units) in the previous 12-month period, exclusive of equity securities issued prior to the IPO or in the contribution transactions, and (B) 8%, and (2) the sum of any incentive fee paid to the Manager with respect to the first three calendar quarters of such previous 12-month period; provided, however, that no incentive fee is payable with respect to any calendar quarter unless AFFO is greater than zero for the four most recently completed calendar quarters, or the number of completed calendar quarters since the closing date of the IPO, whichever is less. For purposes of calculating the incentive fee during the first 12 months after completion of the IPO, AFFO will be determined by annualizing the applicable period following completion of the IPO. One half of each quarterly installment of the incentive fee will be payable in LTIP Units, calculated pursuant to the formula above. The remainder of the incentive fee will be payable in cash or in LTIP Units, at the election of the Board, in each case calculated pursuant to the formula above. Management fee expense of $331,371 and $672,047 was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to the LTIP Units granted in connection with the IPO. There were no incentive fees paid to the Manager during either the three or nine months ended September 30, 2014.
	The Company is also required to reimburse the Manager for certain expenses and pay all operating expenses, except those specifically required to be borne by the Manager under the Management Agreement.
	The initial term of the Management Agreement expires on April 2, 2017 (the third anniversary of the closing of the IPO), and will be automatically renewed for a one-year term on each anniversary date thereafter unless previously terminated in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement. Following the initial term of the Management Agreement, the Management Agreement may be terminated annually upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the Company’s independent directors, based upon (1) unsatisfactory performance that is materially detrimental to the Company, or (2) the Company’s determination that the fees payable to the Manager are not fair, subject to the Manager’s right to prevent such termination due to unfair fees by accepting a reduction of the fees agreed to by at least two-thirds of the Company’s independent directors. The Company must provide 180 days’ prior notice of any such termination. Unless terminated for cause, as further described in the Management Agreement, the Manager will be paid a termination fee equal to three times the sum of the base management fee and incentive fee earned, in each case, by the Manager during the 12-month period immediately preceding such termination, calculated as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter before the date of termination. The Company may also terminate the Management Agreement at any time, including during the initial term, without the payment of any termination fee, for cause with 30 days’ prior written notice from the Board.
	During the initial three-year term of the Management Agreement, the Company may not terminate the Management Agreement except as described above or in the following circumstance: At the earlier of (i) April 2, 2017 (three years following the completion of the IPO), and (ii) the date on which the value of the Company’s stockholders’ equity exceeds $250 million, the Board may, but is not obligated to, internalize the Company’s management. The Manager may terminate the Management Agreement if it becomes required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, with such termination deemed to occur immediately before such event, in which case the Company would not be required to pay a termination fee. In addition, if the Company defaults in the performance of any material term of the Management Agreement and the default continues for a period of 30 days after written notice to the Company, the Manager may terminate the Management Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice. If the Management Agreement is terminated by the Manager upon a breach by the Company, the Company is required to pay the Manager the termination fee described above.
	Prior and Terminated Advisory Agreement
	Prior to the entry by the Company into the Management Agreement upon the completion of the IPO and the concurrent termination of the Advisory Agreement, the Former Advisor performed its duties and responsibilities as the Company’s fiduciary under the Advisory Agreement. The Advisory Agreement had a one-year term expiring October 14, 2014, and was renewable for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods upon the mutual consent of the Company and its Advisor. The Former Advisor conducted the Company’s operations and managed its portfolio of real estate investments under the terms of the Advisory Agreement.
	The Former Advisor was entitled to receive a monthly asset management fee for the services it provided pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. On September 26, 2012, the Company amended the Advisory Agreement to reduce the monthly asset management fee from one-twelfth of 1.0% of the higher of the cost or the value of each asset to one-twelfth of 0.65% of the higher of the cost or the value of each asset, where (A) cost equals the amount actually paid, excluding acquisition fees and expenses, to purchase each asset it acquires, including any debt attributable to the asset (including any debt encumbering the asset after acquisition), provided that, with respect to any properties the Company develops, constructs or improves, cost will include the amount expended by the Company for the development, construction or improvement, and (B) the value of an asset is the value established by the most recent independent valuation report, if available, without reduction for depreciation, bad debts or other non-cash reserves.  The asset management fee was based only on the portion of the cost or value attributable to our investment in an asset if the Company did not own all of an asset.
	Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Former Advisor was entitled to receive an acquisition fee for its services in connection with the investigation, selection, sourcing, due diligence and acquisition of a property or investment.  On September 26, 2012, the Company amended its Advisory Agreement to increase the acquisition fee from 1.75% to 2.50% of the purchase price. The purchase price of a property or investment was equal to the amount paid or allocated to the purchase, development, construction or improvement of a property, inclusive of expenses related thereto, and the amount of debt associated with such real property or investment. The purchase price allocable for joint venture investments was equal to the product of (1) the purchase price of the underlying property and (2) the Company’s ownership percentage in the joint venture. Total acquisition and disposition expenses of $362,819 and $399,284 were incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of which none and $399,284 were for the Former Advisor for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Total acquisition and disposition expenses of $4,330,608 and $542,302 were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of which $2,187,183 and $476,840 were for the Former Advisor for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	The Former Advisor was also entitled to receive a financing fee for any loan or line of credit, made available to the Company. The Former Advisor was entitled to re-allow some or all of this fee to reimburse third parties with whom it subcontracted to procure such financing for the Company. On October 21, 2013, the Company amended its Advisory Agreement to decrease the financing fee from 1.0% to 0.25% of any loan made to the Company. In addition, to the extent the Former Advisor provided a substantial amount of services in connection with the disposition of one or more of our properties or investments (except for securities traded on a national securities exchange), the Former Advisor would receive fees equal to the lesser of (A)  1.5% of the sales price of each property or other investment sold or (B) 50% of the selling commission that would have been paid to a third-party broker in connection with such a disposition. In no event were disposition fees paid to the Former Advisor or its affiliates and unaffiliated third parties to exceed in the aggregate 6% of the contract sales price. On October 21, 2013, the Company amended its Advisory Agreement to change the disposition fee to only 1.5% of the sales price of each property or other investment sold, such that the disposition fee was no longer determined based on selling commissions payable to third-party sales brokers.
	In addition to the fees payable to the Former Advisor, the Company reimbursed the Former Advisor for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with services provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that it would not reimburse any amount that would cause the Company’s total operating expenses at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters to exceed the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of its net income determined (1) without reductions for any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and (2) excluding any gain from the sale of our assets for the period.  Notwithstanding the above, the Company was permitted to reimburse amounts in excess of the limitation if a majority of its independent directors determined such excess amount was justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. If such excess expenses were not approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors, the Former Advisor was required to reimburse us at the end of the four fiscal quarters the amount by which the aggregate expenses during the period paid or incurred by us exceeded the limitations provided above.  The Company was not permitted to reimburse the Former Advisor for personnel costs in connection with services for which the Former Advisor received acquisition, asset management or disposition fees.  Due to the limitation discussed above and because operating expenses incurred directly by the Company exceeded the 2% threshold, the Board, including all of its independent directors, reviewed the total operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2013 and the Company’s total operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2014 and unanimously determined the excess amounts to be justified because of the costs of operating a public company in its early stage of operation and the Company’s initial difficulties with raising capital, which are expected to be non-recurring.  As the Board has previously approved such expenses, all operating expenses for the year ended 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2014 have been expensed as incurred.
	The Company issued 1,000 shares of convertible stock, par value $0.01 per share, to the Former Advisor. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, upon completion of the IPO, the convertible stock was convertible to shares of common stock if and when: (A) the Company has made total distributions on the then outstanding shares of its common stock equal to the original issue price of those shares plus an 8% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on the original issue price of those shares or (B) subject to specified conditions, the Company listed its common stock for trading on a national securities exchange. We listed shares of our Class A common stock on the NYSE MKT on March 28, 2014. At that time, the terms for converting the convertible stock would not be achieved and we amended our charter on March 26, 2014 to remove the convertible stock as an authorized class of our capital stock.
	In general, under the Advisory Agreement, the Company contracted property management services for certain properties directly to non-affiliated third parties, in which event it was to pay the Former Advisor an oversight fee equal to 1% of monthly gross revenues of such properties.
	All of the Company’s executive officers and some of its directors are also executive officers, managers and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in the Manager and other Bluerock-affiliated entities.  As a result, they owe fiduciary duties to each of these entities, their members, limited partners and investors, which fiduciary duties may from time to time conflict with the fiduciary duties that they owe to the Company and its stockholders.
	Some of the material conflicts that the Manager or its affiliates face are: 1) the determination of whether an investment opportunity should be recommended to us or another Bluerock-sponsored program or Bluerock-advised investor; 2) the allocation of the time of key executive officers, directors, and other real estate professionals among the Company, other Bluerock-sponsored programs and Bluerock-advised investors, and the activities in which they are involved; and 3) the fees received by the Manager and its affiliates.
	During the first quarter of 2014, the Company was reimbursed approximately $508,000 by our Former Advisor for certain organizational and offering costs related to the Company's continuous registered offering on Form S-11 (File No. 333-153135).
	Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement and the Management Agreement, summarized below are the related party amounts payable to our Former Advisor and the Manager, as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

	Note 11 – Stockholders’ Equity
	Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
	Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, less dividends on restricted stock expected to vest plus gains on redemptions on common stock, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and any potential dilutive shares for the period.  Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders is computed by adjusting net income (loss) for the non-forfeitable dividends paid on non-vested restricted stock.
	The following table reconciles the components of basic and diluted net loss per common share:
			Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,

	The number of shares and per share amounts for the prior period have been retroactively restated to reflect the two reverse stock splits of the Class B common stock discussed below.
		-1	Excludes 4,794 and 5,726 shares of Class B common stock and 282,759 and 188,506 OP Units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and 7,059 shares of Class B common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, related to non-vested restricted stock and OP Units, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.  Also excludes any potential dilution related to the 1,000 shares of convertible stock outstanding as of September 30, 2013, as there would be no conversion into common shares.
		-2	Represents the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the common stock upon redemption.
		-3	For 2014, amounts relate to shares of the Company’s Class A, Class B-1, B-2, B-3 common stock and LTIP Units outstanding. For 2013, amounts relate to common shares outstanding.
		-4	For 2014, amounts relate to shares of the Company’s Class A, Class B-1, B-2, B-3 common stock and OP and LTIP Units outstanding. For 2013, amounts relate to common shares outstanding. For 2014, amounts exclude OP Units as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
	Common Stock
	The Company raised capital in a continuous registered offering, carried out in a manner consistent with offerings of non-listed REITs, from its inception until September 9, 2013, when it terminated the continuous registered offering in connection with the Board’s consideration of strategic alternatives to maximize value to the Company’s stockholders. Through September 9, 2013, the Company had raised an aggregate of $22.6 million in gross proceeds through its continuous registered offering, including its distribution reinvestment plan.
	On January 23, 2014, the Company's stockholders approved the second articles of amendment and restatement to our charter, or Second Charter Amendment, that provided, among other things, for the designation of a new share class of Class A common stock, and for the change of each existing outstanding share of our common stock into:
		•	1/3 of a share of our Class B-1 common stock; plus
		•	1/3 of a share of our Class B-2 common stock; plus
		•	1/3 of a share of our Class B-3 common stock.
	This transaction was effective upon filing the Second Charter Amendment with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland on March 26, 2014. Immediately following the filing of the Second Charter Amendment, we effectuated a 2.264881 to 1 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of Class B-1 common stock, Class B-2 common stock and Class B-3 common stock, and on March 31, 2014, we effected an additional 1.0045878 to 1 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of Class B-1 common stock, Class B-2 common stock and Class B-3 common stock.
	We refer to Class B-1 common stock, Class B-2 common stock and Class B-3 common stock collectively as “Class B” common stock. We listed our Class A common stock on the NYSE MKT on March 28, 2014. Our Class B common stock is identical to our Class A common stock, except that (i) we do not intend to list our Class B common stock on a national securities exchange, and (ii) shares of our Class B common stock will convert automatically into shares of Class A common stock at specified times, as follows:
		•	March 23, 2015, in the case of our Class B-1 common stock;
		•	September 19, 2015, in the case of our Class B-2 common stock; and
		•	March 17, 2016, in the case of our Class B-3 common stock.
	Operating Partnership and Long-Term Incentive Plan Units
	On April 2, 2014, concurrently with the completion of the IPO, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, or the Partnership Agreement Amendment, of its Operating Partnership, Bluerock Residential Holdings, L.P. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement Amendment, the Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and may not be removed as general partner by the limited partners with or without cause. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership, which are also parties to the Partnership Agreement Amendment, are Bluerock REIT Holdings, LLC, our Manager, BR-NPT Springing Entity, LLC, or NPT, Bluerock Property Management, LLC, or BPM, and the Company’s former advisor, Bluerock Multifamily Advisor, LLC, or our Former Advisor, all of which are affiliates of the Company.
	Prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company owned, directly and indirectly, 100% of the limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership. Effective as of the completion of the IPO, limited partners other than the Company now own approximately 9.87% of the Operating Partnership (4.59% are held by OP Unit holders and 5.28% are held by LTIP Unit holders.)
	The Partnership Agreement Amendment provides, among other things, that the Operating Partnership initially has two classes of limited partnership interests, which are units of limited partnership interest, or OP Units, and the Operating Partnership’s long-term incentive plan units, or LTIP Units. In calculating the percentage interests of the partners of the Operating Partnership, holders of LTIP Units are treated as holders of OP Units and LTIP Units are treated as OP Units. In general, LTIP Units will receive the same per-unit distributions as the OP Units. Initially, each LTIP Unit will have a capital account balance of zero and, therefore, will not have full parity with OP Units with respect to liquidating distributions. However, the Partnership Agreement Amendment provides that “book gain,” or economic appreciation, in the Company’s assets realized by the Operating Partnership as a result of the actual sale of all or substantially all of the Operating Partnership’s assets or the revaluation of the Operating Partnership’s assets as provided by applicable U.S. Department of Treasury regulations will be allocated first to the holders of LTIP Units until the capital account per unit of LTIP Unit holders is equal to the average capital account per-unit of the Company’s OP Units in the Operating Partnership. We expect that the Operating Partnership will issue OP Units to limited partners, including the Company, in exchange for capital contributions of cash or property, and will issue LTIP Units pursuant to the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan for Individuals and 2014 Equity Incentive Plan for Entities, or collectively the Incentive Plans, to persons who provide services to the Company, including the Company’s officers, directors and employees.
	Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement Amendment, any holders of OP Units other than the Company or its subsidiaries, will receive redemption rights, which, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, will enable them to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their OP Units in exchange for cash or, at the Company’s option, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. The Company has agreed to file, not earlier than one year after the closing of the IPO, one or more registration statements registering the issuance or resale of shares of its Class A common stock issuable upon redemption of the OP Units issued upon conversion of LTIP Units, which include those issued to the Manager and the Former Advisor. Subject to certain exceptions, the Operating Partnership will pay all expenses in connection with the exercise of registration rights under the Partnership Agreement Amendment.
	Share Repurchase Plan and Redeemable Common Stock
	On June 27, 2013, following a meeting of its Board, the Company decided to explore strategic alternatives to enhance the growth of its portfolio. In anticipation of its review of strategic alternatives, the Board, including all of the Company’s independent directors, voted to suspend the Company’s share repurchase plan as of June 27, 2013 through the third quarter of 2013.  In addition, the Board, including all of the Company’s independent directors, voted to suspend payment of pending repurchase requests under the share repurchase plan that were queued as of June 27, 2013 for repurchase.
	On August 23, 2013, the Board, including all of the Company’s independent directors, voted to terminate the Company’s Distribution Reinvestment Plan, or the DRP.  The termination of the DRP eliminated the source of proceeds for the repurchase of shares under the share repurchase plan and, therefore, the Board, including all of the Company’s independent directors, voted to terminate the share repurchase plan, effective as of September 9, 2013.
	The aggregate amount of any accrued redemptions and redeemable common stock were reclassified back to additional paid-in capital at that time.
	Stock-based Compensation for Independent Directors
	Prior to the Company’s IPO on April 2, 2014, the Company’s independent directors received an automatic grant of 5,000 shares of restricted stock on the initial effective date of the continuous registered offering and received an automatic grant of 2,500 shares of restricted stock when such directors were re-elected at each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders thereafter through the 2013 annual meeting on August 5, 2013. To the extent allowed by applicable law, the independent directors were required to pay any purchase price for these grants of restricted stock. The restricted stock vested 20% at the time of the grant and 20% on each anniversary thereafter over four years from the date of the grant. All restricted stock receive distributions, whether vested or unvested. The value of the restricted stock granted was determined at the date of grant. Commencing with the Company’s IPO, the Directors will no longer receive automatic grants upon appointment or reelection at each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders.
	A summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested shares as of September 30, 2014, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, is as follows:
	Non Vested shares		Shares(1)		Weighted average grant-date
					fair value(1)
	Balance at January 1, 2014		6,593		$	150,000
	Granted		—			—
	Vested		-2,637			-60,000
	Forfeited		—			—
	Balance at September 30, 2014		3,956		$	90,000
	(1) The number of shares and per share amounts for the prior period have been retroactively restated to reflect the two reverse stock splits of the Class B common stock discussed above.
	At September 30, 2014, there was $82,500 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stocks granted under the independent director compensation plan. The original cost is expected to be recognized over a period of four years. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $60,000.
	The Company currently uses authorized and unissued shares to satisfy share award grants.
	Distributions
	On December 27, 2013, the Board authorized, and the Company declared, distributions on its common stock, for the month of January 2014 at a rate of $0.05945211 per share to stockholders of record at the close of business on January 31, 2014. Distributions payable to each stockholder of record were paid in cash on February 3, 2014.
	On March 13, 2014, the Board authorized, and the Company declared, distributions on its common stock, for the month of February 2014, at a rate of $0.05369868 per share for stockholders of record at the end of business on February 28, 2014. Distributions payable to each stockholder of record were paid in cash on or before the 15th day of the following month.
	On April 8, 2014, the Board declared monthly dividends for the second quarter of 2014 equal to a quarterly rate of $0.29 per share on both the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock, payable to the stockholders of record as of April 25, 2014, May 25, 2014 and June 25, 2014, which will be paid in cash on May 5, 2014, June 5, 2014 and July 5, 2014, respectively. Holders of OP and LTIP Units are entitled to receive "distribution equivalents" at the same time as dividends are paid to holders of the Company's Class A common stock.
	The declared dividends equal a monthly dividend on the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock as follows: $0.096666 per share for the distributions paid to stockholders of record as of April 25, 2014, $0.096667 per share for the distributions paid to stockholders of record as of May 25, 2014, and $0.096667 per share for the distributions paid to stockholders of record as of June 25, 2014. A portion of each distribution may constitute a return of capital for tax purposes.
	On July 10, 2014, the Board declared monthly dividends for the third quarter of 2014 equal to a quarterly rate of $0.29 per share on the Company’s Class A common stock and $0.29 per share on the Company’s Class B common stock, payable to the stockholders of record as of July 25, 2014, August 25, 2014 and September 25, 2014, which will be paid in cash on August 5, 2014, September 5, 2014 and October 5, 2014, respectively. Holders of OP and LTIP Units are entitled to receive "distribution equivalents" at the same time as dividends are paid to holders of the Company's Class A common stock.
	The declared dividends equal a monthly dividend on the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock as follows: $0.096667 per share for the dividend paid to stockholders of record as of July 25, 2014, $0.096667 per share for the dividend paid to stockholders of record as of August 25, 2014, and $0.096666 per share for the dividend paid to stockholders of record as of September 25, 2014. A portion of each dividend may constitute a return of capital for tax purposes. There is no assurance that the Company will continue to declare dividends or at this rate.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
	The Company operates as an umbrella partnership REIT in which our subsidiary and Operating Partnership, Bluerock Residential Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, or its wholly owned subsidiaries, owns substantially all of the property interests acquired on its behalf.
	Because the Company is the sole general partner of its Operating Partnership and has unilateral control over its management and major operating decisions, the accounts of our Operating Partnership are consolidated in its consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.  The Company will consider future majority owned and controlled joint ventures for consolidation in accordance with the provisions of Topic 810, “Consolidation” of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).
	Certain amounts in prior year presentations have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.  Amounts associated with the Company's Enders Place at Baldwin Park property, which was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2013 in the consolidated balance sheet for that period, have been reclassified to continuing operations, as the Company no longer has the intent to sell the property. As a result of the sale of The Reserve at Creekside Village, a 192-unit garden-style apartment community located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, or the Creekside property, on March 28, 2014, amounts associated with the Creekside property in the statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 have been reclassified to discontinued operations. See Note 3, “Real Estate Assets Held for Sale, Discontinued Operations and Sale of Joint Venture Equity Interests” for further explanation.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  At the property level, these estimates include such items as purchase price allocations of real estate acquisitions, impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, and allowance for doubtful accounts.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	New Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance when it becomes effective on January 1, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We have not yet selected a transition method and are evaluating the impact that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (“ASU No. 2014-08”). ASU No. 2014-08 limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when any of the following occurs: a) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale; b) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale; and c) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of other than by sale. ASU No. 2014-08 also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2014-08 for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2014. As a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2014-08, results of operations for properties that are classified as held for sale in the ordinary course of business on or subsequent to January 1, 2014 would generally be included in continuing operations on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, to the extent such disposals did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation. Additionally, any gain or loss on sale of real estate that do not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation would be presented, on the consolidated statements of operations, in continuing operations. ASU No. 2014-08 did not have an impact on the presentation of the Company’s financial statements upon adoption. Early adoption is not permitted for assets that have previously been reported as held for sale in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, application of this new guidance was not permitted for the Company’s Creekside property, which was reported as held for sale in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013 and in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended March 31, 2014.
